OK... What do you think was the most courageous thing Mittens ever did?
Ya...Ya...he looks the part of some smarmy tea bagger congressman.. He looks like the most likely guy in the room to take a payoff...
BUT...What about that early morning phone call? Obama was second guessed by his top advisors in that war room and still he had the nads to make the correct call even though his whole political future was on the line.
I trust Obama to wake up to THAT phone call and answer it as I would hope the leader of the free world should.
Romney?
I think Mittens would wet the bed. I would bet even old cheer leader chicken hawk Bush would react better to a stressed phone call ...Oh no ...he got a 9 AM phone call and froze like a deer in the headlights..then instead of acting presidential he kept reading about the goat to the kiddies.. Bush definitely FAILED his phone call moment.
Now what do you think this rich kid ***** would do? Crap his pants?....Soil his magic underwear?..Start crying and bite his presidential pillow? THAT'S what he would do.
Discuss...
i think the opposite is true - which concerns me. Romney has shown he will say or do anything to get votes or power - and then say or do the exact opposite, to gain or keep power.
I don't think he would hesitate to put our troops in harm's way - whether for legitimate or political reasons.
It used to be Defense was an area that the GOP owned exclusively. Bush (the idiot, not the good one) ran on that.
That's changed. Largely due to Bush, Americans have grown less fond of war, because of the death, injury, lack of exit strategy and bankruptcy. Just not that great.
So Obama has not only gotten the guy most of us actually gave a shlt about, he showed us how to get into and out of a country, without casualties and bankruptcy. That was a refreshing change of pace!
he's also captured over 2 dozen terrorist groups domestically, while they were in the planning stages. And he got them BEFORE they blew shlt up! That's a nice change from the last guy too. Obviously, Obama is better at "connecting the dots".
So my vote is going to Obama and part of the reason is performance on Defense - both internationally and domestically.
The other reason is Romney / the GOP's stated views on GLB / Dodd-Frank Volcker, and on protecting the incentives for corporations to offshore jobs and also revenues which are earned 100% in the USA.
Also, neither side has passed a decent budget but Obama and the Dems are the only ones who have gotten specific about how they could realistically cut over $100B a year in spending.
